AirAsia is turning up the travel excitement with the launch of its latest international route: Phuket (HKT) - Medan (KNO), Indonesia, with four direct flights weekly operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, starting 27 June 2025.
To celebrate this new connection, promotional fares start from just THB 1,690 (one-way, all-in). Bookings are available now exclusively on the AirAsia MOVE app, from now until 27 April 2025, for travel between 27 June and 24 October 2025.
This new route is set to boost tourism and economic ties between the two destinations ? making Phuket more accessible to international travelers from Indonesia, while also offering Thai travelers a brand-new cultural and scenic getaway just a short flight away.
Ms. Tansita Akraritpirom, Head of Commercial for Thai AirAsia, shared her excitement about the launch "Phuket continues to thrive as a top-tier travel hub in the region, and we're committed to strengthening its connectivity. Over the past year, AirAsia has been actively expanding its international network to and from Phuket ? including new direct flights to India and across ASEAN. This Phuket-Medan route is a strategic move to tap into a fresh travel market while reinforcing our Phuket operations base. Travelers now have more reasons to explore beyond Bangkok, with direct access to Indonesia's rich culture and natural beauty."
Medan, the capital of North Sumatra, is a vibrant city that Thai travelers can now visit visa-free. It boasts a unique blend of history, cultural diversity, and breathtaking nature, most famously the awe-inspiring Lake Toba ? the largest volcanic crater lake on Earth, nestled among lush green mountains. At its heart lies Samosir Island, a tranquil retreat steeped in Batak culture.
Other must-see attractions include the Maimun Palace, a stunning wooden palace reflecting the city's cultural fusion, and the magnificent Great Mosque of Medan, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture.
AirAsia will operate this new route direct Phuket-Medan flights this 27 April 2025 four times a week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with its Airbus A320 aircraft, offering world-class service and convenience. The flights are operated by Thai AirAsia (FD), proudly ranked among the Top 5 most punctual airlines in Asia-Pacific by Cirium, and recognized for high safety standards by Airlineratings.com.
